25. Cynosure

A painter comes to the Castle to immortalize the Marshall family

archiveofourown.org/works/93312631

#FFxivWrite · #FFxivWrite2026 · #Voidboundsjourney

A familiy portrait painting.

Beatrice, a midlander hyur, is standing in the background her hand on the back of the chair where her two children, Vaelin and Mephilia, are sitting. We can see her wedding ring. She cleary looks regal and noble, with her wavy rosy long hair falling on her shoulders. The greenish hue of her eyes seems to stare at the painter.

On her side is Altair, her husband, a midlander hyur with red. He's got a big grin, proud of his family.

On the chair are sitting Vaelin and Mephilia. They are in their teenage years, and almost look like twins. Vaelin is holding his sister's should with one hand. Mephilia smiles awkwardly, because she's never at ease being stared at.

They are in front of a huge library, all wearing noble attires. The screenshots looks like an old paiting.

Venat and her protégé look to the stars.

ellipsus.com/read/4GZQuXP...

"Hmm…"

Venat stopped in her tracks suddenly. Theia was following a short way behind, staring at the ground as she avoided roots and other hazards in the dark of the forest. It was a shortcut, according to Venat, and it would get them to their destination before nightfall. Yet, as the light of sunset faded and the stars started to peak through the leaves, it became apparent this shortcut was anything but.

Theia, too focused on the ground, bumped into the stationary Venat.

"Huf… What's wrong?"

day 25 - cynosure

during tea time, amaris contemplates how she wants to be like minfilia and more importantly, how she wants to learn more about her

[ #📝 | #ffxivwrite2026 | #ffxivwrite ]

It isn't uncommon for Amaris to find herself in the Solar for a bell or two after a mission debriefing. It isn't unwelcome either, not by her or the woman who sits across from her.

"Tea?" Minfilia asks, pouring herself a cup. The sweet smell fills the room with a warmth that invites — a warmth that says that this is a safe place for any and all who enter.

"Yes, please." Amaris replies as she always does.

Minfilia pours another cup, graceful like always, and begins to stir in sugars and milk. Amaris wonders how she makes the time for such a kindness. How Minfilia, with every item on her list that assuredly only grows day by day, can still spare a second to do something so mundane.

It's admirable. In fact, not just this but everything Minfilia does.

Amaris would like to be like Minfilia one day. To be able to lead others towards a brighter future. To be able to make hard decisions with confidence. To be relentlessly hopeful of the world. Anything and everything, she wants to be just like her.

"Minfilia?"

"Yes?"

She hesitates. She isn't even sure exactly what she wants to ask. It's this awkward silence that reminds her that she knows nothing about Minfilia outside of her role as the Antecedent and that she too possesses the Echo.How can she says she wants to be like her if she knows little else about her?

"You always have Tataru brew the same tea. Is it your favorite?" Amaris asks and Minfilia, for all her grace in the world, raises a brow. It appears as if the question is unexpected.

"Hmm." She thinks on it for a moment. "I suppose it has grown to be a favorite, though I don't believe I've ever considered it. Before Tataru's kindness, I never had much time to brew tea nevermind find a favorite."

Amaris nods along, and with those words Amaris realizes that one thing she knows about Minfilia is true — she is a busy woman that is taking time out of her day to speak with her. The realization that she's right almost has her excusing herself.

"Ahh...well...thank you for taking the time to sit with me. I know you're probably terribly busy now too." Amaris offers up as an alternative to rushing out the door.

Minfilia clicks her tongue, a soft tsk escaping her lips as she shakes head. "No need to thank me, Amaris. I enjoy the time we can share together. You're a fascinating young lady."

Amaris believes her head would spin clean off of her neck if it weren't attached, Minfilia's compliment far too much for her."I like this time, too! You're..." She hesitates. Incredible? Amazing? A little mysterious but in a good way? "You're also fascinating." She parrots back the compliment despite her realization she knows next to nothing about her companion at all.

Minfilia laughs, light and airy, and the unreasonable side of Amaris' brain is afraid it's because Minfilia somehow knows every detail running through her head.

She knows that isn't true - that the Echo they share has never once given a window into ones inner mind. In this moment, Amaris can't help herself from wishing that it could if only to know Minfilia just the smallest bit better.

Perhaps one day she'll have that luxury, but today she will have to do getting to know people the hard way. To connect with others and know them. To make time for them.

All the things Minfilia does, Amaris wants to do for her.

#ffxivwrite2026 Day 25 : Cynosure
Sorcha once lost one Warrior of Light. She would not lose another.

✍️ archiveofourown.org/works/93288376
#ffxivwrite #ffxiv #myfic

The Warrior of Light. A tiny pang squeezed Sorcha’s chest as she quietly brewed yet more painkiller concoctions. How familiar was the moniker to her, except the visage that rose in her mind lacked the soft rosy locks and red-tipped tail which usually accompanied depictions of the people’s current hero. The warrior Sorcha knew had not a remarkable, nor memorable, face. His chestnut-brown hair was common among Gridanians; the bright blue of his eyes reflected the deep sky far out in the horizon; and the ever-present stubble adorning his jawline would often bristle against her own chin every time they shared stolen kisses in-between missions. The first time Sorcha met him had been in their teen years when he’d been but a new adventurer out on an errand or two outside of Hyrstmill. Fast-forward nine years later, he’d bedecked her finger with a pretty ring with the promise to spend a lifetime together.

Kyawiweni responded in kind, his massive hands trailing ever so gently down Koana's spine. Feeling the swell of his ass. Running up and down his thigh a few times before moving to the closure on his pants. Hovering there inquisitvely.

Koana broke the kiss long enough to exhale a breathy, "yes," before crashing back into him, digging his nails into the man's shoulders as he undid both the front closure and the back where his tail came through. 

"Little rough with those nails, Second Promise. I like that." 

Kyawiweni cupped Koana's face between his fingers, then slid them a little lower to where it would just cut off Koana's airway. Koana's breath hitched, his eyes fluttering closed as a small moan escaped his lips.

"Ye like that?" he asked, releasing Koana's airway. Koana nodded.

"Lay down, Second Promise."

"Koana… you need not address me by my title in bed."

"Of course, Koana."

"Guiding Star" - Urianger is made to reflect on the Peridot's desire to be a guide to those she sees herself in.

Story Snippet: (ShB 5.0 spoilers)

"Peridot, forgive mine inquiry, but why hath thou chosen this moment to deliver such information?"

"Because the echo showed me your conversation with the Exarch—with G'raha. Where he told you the legacy he bore, and entrusted it to you." I sense some degree of unnerve within the delivery of her words. "I, then, would tell you the truth of the legacy you were entrusted. Of the woman behind the title."

"And wherefore doth thou believe that I know not of thine character? Of the champion I have worked alongside now for many a moon?"

A weary look now burdens her visage. "Listen to my story, and you will know why."

And thus doth she tell her tale. Of what came before her arrival to Eorzea.
